I've Got My 'Eye' on You
It's been so long since I've been here. In June I took the plunge and had Lasik eye surgery. What an event that has turned out to be. It's been so hard not spending as much time on the computer. I think I'm more neurotic than I was before!
While the actually surgery is basically pain-free (they numb the eye) I've had a very uncomfortable recovery. But I guess that is the key word "recovery". It doesn't happen over night. I'm told it will be 3 - 6 months before I feel/see normal again.
Don't get me wrong, I can see spectacularly compared to pre-surgery but the perfectionism of it varies from day to day. And it's really weird walking around every day with the feeling like I went on a bender and fell asleep with my contact lenses in.
If you have poor vision I definitely recommend researching and talking to lots of people who have had.

It's been a long month (well 4 days shy) but my eyes are starting to feel normal. The only thing I'm really dealing with is what the doctor is calling pseudo focus myopia. Basically, my eyes don't know they've been fixed yet and are working in overdrive to try and focus. I go back to the Opt. in a few weeks and he is going to give me some drops to test the muscles of my eye. Fun, fun.
I went eyeglass shopping with hubby yesterday (he needs new ones) and guess who was trying on all the cool frames? I know, silly me. I found an awesome red pair of spectacles though. Maybe I can turn them into sunglasses. LOL
